Abstract
A colon delivery system has been used to improve the bioavailability of glycyrrhizin, a glycoside of glycyrrhetic acid. The bioavailability of glycyrrhizin is low when administered in conventional oral galenic dosage forms because glycyrrhizin is enzymatically hydrolysed both in the stomach and in the intestine. It was reasoned that if large amounts of glycyrrhizin were directly delivered to the colon, enzymatic activity should be reduced due to saturation so that intact glycyrrhizin could be absorbed into the systemic circulation. Based on this assumption, pressure-controlled colon delivery capsules (PCDCs) were used as a colon delivery system. Eight types of glycyrrhizin solution were prepared and were introduced into PCDCs. After oral administration of the test PCDCs to beagle dogs, blood samples were obtained over 24 h and plasma glycyrrhizin concentrations were measured by an HPLC method. With PCDCs containing aqueous glycyrrhizin and propylene glycol solutions, plasma glycyrrhizin levels were extremely low and the bioavailabilities of glycyrrhizin were 0.6% and 0.4%, respectively. When Labrasol was added to both types of glycyrrhizin solution, the bioavailability was improved to 4.6% for aqueous solution and 3.8% for prop...Continue Reading
